The Seventh Base

The Ten Temple Alliance is an extremely important trial for the Mystic God Temple, grading all newcomers to the ten major temples.

With the end of this year's Ten Temple Alliance, Zero from Chloe Star's Temple defeated Oxso from Capital Star's Temple, becoming the sole remaining Transcendent.

Before the battle, no one expected such an outcome, not even Cleo, the elder of Chloe Star's Temple. He watched as Zero returned to her position, his face full of surprise and disbelief, yet soon he broke into a radiant smile, thrilled.

This year, Chloe Star's Temple, in terms of top-tier Combat Power, overwhelmed Capital Star's Temple, indisputably taking first place.

The first and third are both their people, and then there's Augustus.

While there were many uncertainties before the battle, now that the entire Ten Temple Alliance fight is over, looking at the lineup ahead of Chloe Star's Temple.

Zero, Xu Mo, Augustus—what kind of super team is this?

Oxso, Han Zhao, Pugins—that's Capital Star's Temple's Golden lineup, but now it seems they're still inferior to Chloe Star's Temple's trio.

This year's Ten Temple Alliance saw the rise of many distinguished figures, Lin He, a descendant believed to be connected to the Ancient Imperial Family, Kerman with an immortal body, these figures all demonstrated tremendous Combat Power.

However, this year's Ten Temple Alliance belongs to Chloe Star's Temple, all other temples, including Capital Star, have been overshadowed.

Augustus overshadowed those behind, Xu Mo and Zero overshadowed those ahead—the largest number of individuals defeated lay in their hands.

Zero, Oxso, and Xu Mo are undoubtedly the strongest trio in this year's Ten Temple Alliance, even though many didn't face them directly, no one doubts this.

They're the top three, the strongest three, highly likely to jointly become Mystic God Temple core transmission members, although others may have opportunities, their chances aren't as great as the trio's.

After the Ten Temple Alliance ended, each Mystic God Temple has its own thoughts, Chloe Star's Temple, Cleo naturally is radiant, never this impressive before.

Erin Uranos is deeply moved internally, her father had only mentioned Xu Mo previously, unexpectedly Xu Mo's girlfriend is the real prodigy, deeply hidden, though she doesn't seem to like showing herself, quiet and unassuming otherwise.

What step will these two take together in the future?

She remembered some of Xu Mo's behavior when Zero was around, she too was puzzled before, now she understands.

Xu Mo may be unable to win...

As for Gisman, his face is already twisted, his heart wrenched; before today's decisive battle erupted, he harbored a glimmer of hope, envisaging Xu Mo looking worse in the future, now he only faces despair.

One's first, another's third, and even Oxso has been slain by Zero, what storm can he stir up?

Maybe Xu Mo and Zero will have Chloe Star's Temple expel him, Chloe Star's Temple might even nod in agreement.

This...

From now on, he will cultivate with his tail between his legs.

"This year's Ten Temple Alliance was tremendously exciting, Chloe Star's Temple's Transcendents showcased very strong powers, performances from major temples weren't mediocre either, afterward, Capital Star's Temple headquarters will assess based on this year's Mystic God Temple newcomers' overall performance; this marks the end of the Ten Temple Alliance," the elder of Capital Star's Temple said at this time.

Capital Star O'Brian's Temple is also the headquarters of the Mystic God Temple, holding a higher status than the other nine major temples.

The Ten Temple Alliance, as the Mystic God Temple's internal combat competition, has no rewards nor actual ranking, but will regrade based on everyone's performance and their tested data, somehow deciding these newcomers' futures.

Moreover, the Mystic God Temple core transmission will be selected, although this won't be publicly announced but internally decided—becoming core transmission of the Mystic God Temple signifies truly entering its core, meant to be cultivated as the Mystic God Temple's future.

The number of Mystic God Temple core transmission is extremely limited, each year never exceeding ten people.

These individuals are generally meant to become Skywalker-level Great Practitioners, the backbone of the Mystic God Temple's future.

"You guys return first." Cleo addressed the Transcendents from Chloe Star's Temple behind him; everyone nodded in agreement, since the Ten Temple Alliance ended, there's nothing left to do.

Cleo then walked forward to join the elders from major temples.

"Cleo, luck's good." These elders are familiar faces, someone smiled at Cleo and said.

"Not too shabby, not too shabby." Cleo smiled and nodded, squinting at the elder of Willton's Divine Temple, smiling, "Though Chloe Star's Temple's performance at the end was not bad, the number of people entering the top hundred is still less, unlike Willton's Divine Temple's eleven, efforts needed next year."

"..." The elder from Willton's Divine Temple's face turned dark: this scoundrel, grasped and won't let go, still killing spirit.

But now, he can only admit defeat; retaliating would only invite ridicule.

"Cleo, what background do those two have, are they Chloe Star people or dug from other stars?" Someone curiously asked, evidently referring to Xu Mo and Zero. Everyone knows Xu Mo and Zero are basically confirmed to become Mystic God Temple core transmission, with immense prospects.

"You might not believe me, they offered themselves." Cleo smiled and said, fortunately he gave Xu Mo and Zero a chance, or else the opportunity would've been missed.

"Tell us in detail?" Someone asked.

"Better report to the top." Cleo smiled and said, a group continued forward, the information on Zero and Xu Mo naturally must be submitted to the headquarters for review.

......

Chloe Star's Temple, Xu Mo returned to the real world immediately after his defeat, feeling somewhat gloomy.

It seems the foundation was insufficient, losing to Oxso, whose Combat Power was indeed impeccable.

Now, Zero should be fighting him?

Wonder how things are turning out.

Zero, I'm afraid it's also difficult to defeat Oxso. That guy's spiritual power is terrifying and can't be targeted.

He quietly awaited the results. There was only one battle left in the Ten Temple Alliance, and it shouldn't take long.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before a figure directly entered Xu Mo's room. Zero had unlock permissions.

"Zero," Xu Mo called out, "Is it over?"

"Yes." Zero nodded, and as usual, nothing could be discerned from her expression.

"That guy Oxso is indeed tough to deal with. I'm afraid I need to cultivate a bit longer before I can beat him," Xu Mo said.

"I killed him," Zero said softly.

Xu Mo: "......"

Looking into Zero's calm eyes, Xu Mo found himself at a loss for words.

So, Zero killed Oxso and took first place in the Ten Temple Alliance?

"How did you kill him?" Xu Mo asked curiously, as he hadn't witnessed the battle.

"Just like I would with you," Zero replied.

"......"

"Will this affect your chance of becoming a true disciple at the Mystic God Temple?" Zero looked at Xu Mo and asked. By killing Oxso, did she steal Xu Mo's spot?

"The Mystic God Temple should have its own set of evaluation criteria. I already gave my all in the battlefield, and they will judge me based on my combat power. It has nothing to do with your victory or loss," Xu Mo softly ruffled Zero's silver hair and said, "You're still an amazing girlfriend."

Though Xu Mo was a bit surprised, remembering Qiong Shi's unfathomable depth, he didn't think much more. The old witch definitely left a trump card for Zero, considering she raised her personally, unlike him who was just riding her coattails, the old witch must have held back something.

"Zero, do you know where Mom and Master Qiong went?" Xu Mo asked, wondering if he could get in touch.

Zero shook her head.

Xu Mo looked at Zero, not quite believing that Zero's mom and Master Qiong would be so trusting. Could they be watching from the shadows?

Though it seemed improbable, with the old witch's terrifying nature, who knows?

"I kind of miss Mom and Master now," Xu Mo said.

Zero gave him a strange look. Mom and Master?

That affectionate?

Weren't they her mom and master?

......

After the results of the Ten Temple Alliance came out, those like Augustus who were previously eliminated were also shocked by the results.

Xu Mo narrowly lost to Oxso, claiming third place.

Zero killed Oxso, taking first.

What kind of monsters are this couple?

Even if Augustus wasn't defeated by Oxso, he didn't dare to say he could take third place.

After all, the second-ranked Han Zhao, the third-ranked Pugins from the Mystic God Temple, and Lin He, Kerman, and others were not easy opponents.

Xu Mo's strength was indeed strong, though it's expected the rankings at the Mystic God Temple might need some changes.

Zero first, Xu Mo second.

Outside Chloe Star, people also gradually received the news. Although the Ten Temple Alliance is an internal battle of the Mystic God Temple, it's no secret event and hard to keep quiet.

After it ended, Erin Uranos was the first to inform her father Hodge, who was stunned for a few seconds upon hearing the results. He had considered Xu Mo might be strong, but didn't expect him to be that strong, especially with an even stronger girlfriend, which he hadn't noticed before.

As the news spread, many media outlets on Chloe Star reported on it, and it even became a hot topic on Chloe Star.

This was the first time Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple took first place in the Ten Temple Alliance. Although to outsiders, other planetary Mystic God Temples seem distant, it was still something worth discussing, especially since Xu Mo and Zero themselves had some topic-worthy attributes.

They almost couldn't participate in the Mystic God Temple assessment and were even targeted by the Church.

Thus, the names Xu Mo and Zero became known to countless people.

Naturally, Tis Palace, as the Transcendent power that revoked the recommendation for Xu Mo and Zero to the Mystic God Temple, was once again dragged out for "whipping the corpse," with public opinion full of mockery, said to be brutal. It's rumored that the Palace Master of Tis Palace was once again furious, and people on Chloe Star started feeling somewhat sympathetic towards the Palace Master.

After all, he was also set up by his subordinates.

Now, he's brought out "for whipping the corpse" from time to time.

Miserable!
